Does it matter if you sleep right after your work out?

Answer 1

From a sleep hygiene standpoint, yes. Part of your circadian rhythym is tied to your core body temperature. The body slowly declines in body temerature in the evening hitting a low point around 3AM. That temperature decline aids in your proper sleep pattern. Humans are naturally night sleepers (thus the problems shift work people have). The body temperature rises through the morning and then takes a slight dip in the afternoon (this is why we get tired just after lunch, it has little to do with the fact that you just ate, its natural for us to nap in the afternoons...many cultures use this even in the workplace). When you work out, you raise your body temperature. If you do it right before you intend to sleep, it can throw off your normal sleep pattern, causing you to sleep poorly and even keep you from getting to sleep in some cases. It is always best to work out at least a couple hours before your normal bedtime.

Answer 2

yes! after working out sleep is essential because you get tired and a good night sleep is a smart choice. when you are sleeping you'r body is recovering from the exhaustion.
